Feeling Bloated....

[Graphite]

Every day when i go to school I feel bloated and stuff, In the morning I usually have some egg whites and my whey protein shake w/ skim milk.. The night before I go to bed I have my whey protein shake w/ skim milk What could be making me feel bloated? Any meds that will help reduce this without giving me the ****s lol. It sucks being bloated at school.

Substitute another whole food source of protein for the whey at both times. Whey is notorious for causing bloat and digestive troubles. Also switch out the milk and replace it with another carbohydrate source. See if that corrects the problem first.

I had this exact same thing happen but I had it so bad that I had to miss work. I was using HDT's Pro Blend Powder. I felt like I had a beach ball in my stomach and was trying to pass it. I was extremely nauseous. I also had this happen with Saturn Supplement's Muscleworks powder.

Funny thing is, I can handle protein bars. I think it may have to do with how the protein is processed. The powders I tried were Ionic Whey Isolate or Concentrate. The bars are made with Whey concentrate. Maybe the Ionization has something to do with it. In any case, I am not drinking protein powders after that experience b/c I can't risk missing another day of work.

I'm very picky when it comes to protein powders. I tried a lot of them and the only one that doesn't make me feel bloated or make me sit on the toillet or give me acne is BioX xtreme power whey isolate

You may want to try John Parrillos protein mix. As owner of a womens fitess center i have found not one client complain of a bloated feeling using Johns protein mix.

try a whey isolate that is lactose free like VP2, the other problem could be that milk is causing the bloat.

why do u have both eggwhites AND whey for breakfast AND before bed? have just one whole food protein source and save the whey for postworkout. Anways, try any and/or all of the following..

-have water instead of the milk
-drink MORE water
-do more ab work in the gym to tighten up your midsection(helped me a ton with previous bloating)
-eat from a different source of whatever you're trying to take in, for example if you're bloated after taking whey, substitute it for whole food like tuna, eggs, cott cheese, etc. Another example- if you're bloated after having bread for a carb source at one meal, switch it out for oats. it's all trial and error and trying new things. take note of how you feel and look after each food u eat so u know for future ref and u can plan ur diet accordingly.
-lift harder
-drop most of the cardio you're doing(if you're doing any)

I get bloated and gassy A LOT...it sux. Like you I wake up fine and am good for most of the day but by 6-8pm I get gassy and I hate it. I guess I just have to live with it cus I eat plenty of fiber, veggies, etc so I am not sure what is causing it.

It's not a forever thing, nor is it normal to be bloated all the time. See a doctor or nutritionist so they can tell u what's causing the bloating. It CAN be taken care of.

if you are taking in lots of veggies and fiber its bound to happen. the first half of the day im fine, then when my veggie consumption increases and my oat/b. rice consumption decreases i get tons of gas. you could try some yogurt to help decrease with the gas because the live bacteria will help with digestion.

My diet is exactly the same. I have a lot of oats early on in the day and a lot of veggies later on in the day. I will try having some yogurt...should I have it maybe in the middle of the day(3-4pmish) you think?

then or earlier if you like, its worked for me a little. well better then papaya enzymes, beano, and maloxx extreme. haha, im just used to it anymore that i laugh when i break wind.

I am thinking since yogurt has some sugar in it then it might be a good thing to add to a cup of oats for my PPWO meal. Is yogurt ok to add to a diet as a staple for the time I was thinking about?

do you eat cottage cheese and drink milk on your diet? if so they have sugars in them too, naturally produced lactose which is low gi and shouldnt be worried about. imo, if you want to make yogurt a staple thats a great idea, its not really a staple on mine but i do buy it frequently. its got casein and whey protein plus the live active cultures in it. so if you are worried about the sugars i believe the other health benefits outweigh it. also buy plain, non fat yogurt not the kind that is favored with preseves and such, if you like add fruit or something else yourself.

I have skim milk PWO and 1 cup no salt cc before bed. I bought some yogurt with only 5g of sugar per cup...it's that low carb yogurt, but it had the least amount of sugar.
